Re: '32 901 Sedan - Vapor Lock

Posted by Owen_Dyneto On 2023/9/12 16:38:25

My Stromberg EE-22 ('34 Eight) has a stamped steel heat shield around the part of the fuel bowl facing the exhaust manifold. It is apparently a component part of the Stromberg carburetor though not listed as such among the carburetor parts in the 33-36 Parts List for Eights and Super Eights. From your photo your carb is missing this.

These engines with the fuel pump on the opposite side of the engine from the manifolds are typically quite immune to vapor lock, perhaps the carb fuel bowl shield will solve your problem, I've never in 50+ years of driving this car experienced vapor lock.

PS. See page 80 of the 33-36 Parts List, "Carburetor Heat Deflector", p/n 210442.
